We are the proud owners of a Valencia Orange, lime, and lemon tree!! I just repotted this one from the container it came in. Hopefully we’ll get some fruit this year?

If you plant some alyssum, (white or purple) it will provide habitat support for tiny stingless parasitic wasps that eat the bugs that cause citrus greening disease. Helps keep your citrus trees healthy and productive. It would do well between those pavers.

From the blue tag on the trunk looks like you're likely in California. Those trees are going to need a bigger pot, the bigger the better. The Costco citrus aren't on dwarfing rootstock and will want to get big. Most citrus can take several years before they come into full production of quality fruit.

The orange and limes are semi-dwarf according to their tags but the lemon is full size 😅😅

Actually two are from Miner’s/Ace and the third from a local nursery :) Also love Costco though!

As in they've grafted all three into one? Neat!
